Tightrope Walker

Varik explains the title: „Tightrope walker is foremost a symbol of the search for balance, the constant overcoming over personal limitations and setting of more audacious goals. Looking at yourself with fresh eyes: can I overcome the obstacles, can I keep my balance while moving towards the new goals. Tightrope walking is also associated with the search for subconscious states. Letting go of rigid notions and staying the course without too much thought by believing one’s senses and instincts, one’s physical and mental balance. A journey has a beginning and an end. It might be shorter or longer or last one’s whole life. It contains a lot of tension that should be kept out of mind and a lot of courage that should be enjoyed. This symbol also summarises the teetering position of the society that has inevitably surrounded us all throughout 2020.”
